In an era where traditional risk management approaches struggle to address complex security challenges, systems thinking offers a transformative framework for understanding and mitigating cyber risks.

By examining the intricate relationships between organizational processes, human behavior and technical controls, security practitioners can develop more effective strategies that move beyond siloed practices to consider the holistic impact of cybersecurity decisions across the enterprise.

The session will cover:

• Application of systems thinking tools, including rich pictures and causal loop diagrams, for visualizing complex security relationships
• Moving beyond probabilistic risk assessments to address black swan events and emerging threats
• Understanding the interconnections between business operations, regulations and cybersecurity risk factors
